The sage does not hoard. The more he helps others, the more he benefits himself, Having bestowed all he has on others, he has yet more; having given all he has to others, he is richer still.

I alone am different from the others, because I am nourished by the great mother.

He who is contented is rich.

He who holds on to the Way seeks no excess. Since he lacks excess, he can grow old in no need to be renewed.

The value of actions lies in their timing.

When everyone sees good, then bad exists.

Music in the soul can be heard by the universe.
